Deep Culture

Being raised in the US, I value individual freedom of expression (in speech, dress, gender expression, ability to pursue our interests and passions)

As a first gen, I am highly family-oriented, and believe in respecting my elders and family history. This is at times in contrast with modern American culture, where the nuclear family is being deprioritized.
